HODL

Quitting alcohol is trendy lately.

Which is totally cool, alcohol is a poison and is absolutely terrible for your body. So I support you entirely.

But I’m Irish…

So I will be continuing on in your absence lol 😂

That said I have some rules for my relationship with alcohol.

1. You should drink rarely. Once or twice a month at most.

2. When you do drink though, get drunk. Otherwise what the fuck is the point.

3. In celebration? Always. In sorrow? Never.

4. Never around my children to excess. No kid wants to see the man they depend on out of control.

5. And lastly and most importantly I never forget the advice my grandfather gave me which is being an alcoholic isn’t about how often you drink, it’s about the consequences that come as a result of your drinking. If you have consequences as a result of your relationship with alcohol… it’s time to stop.

Once I stopped drinking I realized the worst consequences of my drinking were while I was sober between drinking.

My mental health improved drastically as a result of not drinking at all.

A glass of beer every evening over a couple weeks is enough to bring bi-polar back.

Not worth it, no matter how I slice it.

Yeah this is because alcohol disturbs sleep. Even one glass wrecks your ability to get into rem.

only if u drink at night tho.

There is a place for lunch wine in lieu of dinner drinks.

it doesn’t jack your sleep if u process it before bed.

(within reason.)
